What is it about chocolate that makes it such an irresistible part of our life experience? Everyone loves the sensations a delicious piece of chocolate gives us and a chocolate gift hardly ever fails to create feelings of well-being throughout the whole body when ingested. Sure the smell and the taste of it alone could cheer anyone up, but there are actually a whole lot of chemical factors behind it that makes chocolate the ultimate happy treat.
A chocolate gift is so much more than the simple taste experience we normally think of it as. As soon as you bring the chocolate to your nose to have the first encounter with it smell-wise something starts happening in your brain. Scientific studies have found that the theta brainwaves tend to increase when we smell chocolate. This brain activity is present when we are relaxing deeply or when we are asleep. This is one of the reasons why we often are being brought to such a pleasant state of mind when we have a sniff of cacao.
When you finally are indulging in that amazing piece of chocolate and have its creaminess melting on your tongue, there is even more brain activity that is being released. Chocolate has been found in researches to have the property to increase the levels of both serotonin and dopamine in the brain. Both of these neurotransmitters in the brain brings about feelings of happiness and well-being.
The substance in chocolate that triggers the brain to produce more of these neurotransmitters is called tryptophan. When the serotonin is being released it brings about feelings of joy, excitement, elation and in some cases even ecstasy. Another natural ingredient in chocolate that is also used in the brain as a neurotransmitter is phenylethylalamine. When it is being activated in the brain after eating a delicious chocolate gift you can experience feelings of happiness, attraction and a general positive mood.
Some people compare eating a box of chocolate with having sex, and the comparison is not too far apart since they bring about similar emotions in our being and scientifically the activation in the brain is alike in both cases. Why do you think the number one gift on Valentine's Day is chocolate gifts? You could compare the feeling of being in love with having an unopened truffle box in front of you. Chocolate definitely brings about a romantic feeling.
So when you want to give a gift to someone that will bring with it feelings of joy and happiness, give a chocolate gift and you ensure that the people you love will be touched by these feelings. A chocolate gift is always right.
